Nor Cal formation training part 2 of 2

Part 2 - raw video of a 3-ship formation training mission. Now at cruise altitude with the wingmen back in fingertip, we fly some intermediate turns, close trail, and an up-and-out break into extended trail. During the roll #2 loses sight of lead and calls a knock-it-off. #3 then rejoins while we figure out where #2 is. Once the geometry is sorted out, #2 rejoins and is coached into the open, outside position. A quick kickout for ops check and mental break, then two echelon turns/breaks/rejoins before a final kickout to route formation for the descent and recovery.
